Pros

Financial stability, great retirement. Great group of employees willing to sacrifice home time to see the company succeed. With less management everyday great opportunities for advancement very fast.

Cons

The intensity that is placed on ones shoulder is ridiculous so that 5 people couldn't do it. Time spent from home is almost 24/7. The company's direction is headed south on safety.

Pros

The salary and benefits are great. Don't need a degree to move up in the company. Great people to work with for most part.

Cons

Everything else! New CEO and he is only in it for making his pockets fatter and don't care about anything else. No one is safe in this company. As a manager you're working 6-7 days a week, 13-16 hours a day. No work-life balance.
